Parking
« on: May 22, 2023, 12:19:37 PM »
I've not driven directly to VP for a while, I either train it or go to Tamebridge and get the train in from there if I drive, however this Sunday for several reasons I'm driving and don't want the hassle of getting a train to Tamebridge - so the age-old question - where best to park coming up from the South East?  Thanks.

There's a new matchday car park in the Industrial Estate off Aston Hall Road. You can book it through the club. It's a tenner, but has full security and is dead easy to make your escape out of Spaghetti Junction.

Failing that, we tend to park at Star City and walk from there. It's more of a schlep but free, and still easy to get out down the spine road.

I’ve used Just Park for a few years now, usually park on a driveway in Aston, costs about £5 for 5 or 6 hours, never had any dramas.

As an alternative to Just Park if their sites around the ground have sold out, try Your Parking Space app.

There's a school on Aston Lane that does parking and a couple on Trinity Road, but those are Perry Barr side of the ground

Does Star City still allow matchday parking?

Yep. I parked there last week for Spurs - had to drive up because of the train strike.

Thanks all, does Powerleague still do matchday parking as well?

Yes, but get there early.

Star City is the easiest and free.

Yep, we've parked there a few times this season on train strike days and the like.

We’ve parked at Aston Manor coaches this season, a fiver but hit and miss for getting out quickly, not the car park but the roundabout to get up to the expressway

One stop gives you four hours I think, touch and go but I’ve done it a few times.
